Wild Walk is a new way to embrace your inner Tarzan or Jane in the jungle by walking along a trail across the treetops.

It's the otters, the turtles, the up close and personal look at life in the Adirondacks that's made The Wild Center in Tupper Lake a major attraction, but a new exhibit that puts visitors up into the trees is taking the destination to new heights.

“We’ve broken down the walls, taken off the ceiling and brought a museum outside into an Adirondack forest,” said Tracey Legat, communications manager at the Wild Center.

Wild Walk is a nearly 1,300-foot-long series of walkways, bridges, and even a larger-than-life spider web, all aimed at giving people a new way to look at the world around them.

“We change perspectives of people so we kind of bring you up over the ground to look at what's above you and think of what they might need to survive,” said Legat.

Whether that means trying to hear like a deer or learning what pine clusters certain animals eat, Wild Walk takes visitors up a steady incline, letting nature enthusiasts of all levels learn just a little bit more about what's going on in the 10,000 square miles that make up the Adirondack forest.

It climbs to its greatest height, 40 feet above the forest floor, in the raptor's nest, which is only slightly larger than the biggest eagle's nest ever recorded.

More than six years in the making, Wild Walk is finally opening its path to the public.

“People can go and walk in the woods and see things but not necessarily understand everything that they're seeing, so The Wild Center wants to be your guidepost to the Adirondacks,” said Legat.

The Wild Walk opens to the public Saturday, which is also The Wild Center’s ninth anniversary.
